Predictive Factors of Gastrointestinal Injuries after Exposure to Sodium Hypochlorite

predictive factors of gastrointestinal injuries after exposure to sodium hypochlorite

background: sodium hypochlorite is found in bleaching agents used to cleaning dishes and bleach laundry. the ingestion of sodium hypochlorite causes acute corrosive esophagitis and gastritis. in establishing the diagnosis and therapeutic approach of acute corrosive poisonings, the upper endoscopy has great importance. the aim of this study was to determine predictive factors of gastrointestinal...

Predictive Factors of Gastrointestinal Caustic Injury According to Clinical and Endoscopic Findings

Background: Ingestion of caustic substances is the main reason for referral to Philippines National Poison Management and Control Center among other causes of acute poisoning. Rapid assessment of severity of injury is important for treatment and prognosis of these cases. This study was aimed to investigate the correlation of clinical factors with severity of gastrointestinal (GI) mucosal injury...

Effect of Remin Pro and Neutral Sodium Fluoride on Enamel Microhardness After Exposure to Acidic Drink

Background and Aim: High consumption of carbonated diet soda is the most common etiologic factor for dental erosion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microhardness of the enamel surface eroded by cola after treatment with Remin Pro and neutral sodium fluoride. Materials and Methods: This in vitro experimental study was performed on 20 extracted premolars with no corrosion, abras...

Sodium Hypochlorite Generation

Low concentration (0.5-0.8%) sodium hypochlorite is a viable solution for point-of-use drinking water chlorination programs in Nepal, and it can be produced on a small-scale at a low cost using relatively cheap, safe, and robust generators, appropriate for developing country conditions. This thesis describes the set-up and the testing of a sodium hypochlorite generator in Kathmandu, at the labo...

Sodium Hypochlorite Solutions

hypochlorite (NaOCl) associated with a surfactant. Seventy single-rooted extracted human teeth were inoculated with Enterococcus faecalis, and incubated for 21 days (37 °C). The groups were distributed according to the irrigation solution used during root canal preparation: 5%, 2.5% and 1% NaOCl; 5%, 2.5% and 1% Hypoclean®, a solution containing a surfactant (cetrimide) associated with NaOCl. T...
